Dan Savage is not without his flaws, but he is an articulate spokesman and brilliant performer when speaking on heartfelt topics like the need to reach gay youth through the It Gets Better Project.

Very interesting clips. I have to say that I went to 12 years of Catholic school and never heard one bad word said against homosexuality or gay people. It was never mentioned. I also never heard any anti-gay rhetoric in Church. A lot of priests are gay so one doesn't usually hear anti-gay talk in most Catholic parishes.
Comments are welcome, but please note: this is not a public forum but my personal blog, which nobody is forced to read. You don't like what I write, go find a blog you do like; there are millions of others to choose from. Or write your own.
Polite disagreement is one thing, but rudeness will be deleted without hesitation.

Certain things he says put my teeth on edge, but he is a good man and has done a very good thing with this project.
